RDI – Rare Diseases Ireland

Rare Diseases Ireland (RDI) is the national alliance for rare disease patient organisations in Ireland, working across all rare diseases to improve the lives of the estimated 300,000 people living with rare diseases in Ireland.

Our vision is a country where all people living with rare diseases live longer and better lives, reaching their full potential, and are included in a society that leaves no one behind. This means we want equity for people living with rare diseases in Ireland – equitable access to diagnosis, treatment, health and social care and opportunity.
